This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 52 Against Wake Forest University
Of course, Jim did not directly agree to Zhou Lin's request, but only said that he would consider it in due course.

Zhou Lin didn't say much. He was just a rookie player, so he had already said everything he could say to help Blair.

Each team has its own rotation rules. There are 12 players in the team, and there are only 7-9 players who play regularly in each game, which means that 3-5 players cannot get playing time.

In fact, in the first year of many freshmen, they can only sit on the bench and watch the performances of seniors, except for talented players who have made a name for themselves in high school.

That's the convention.

In the next game against Tulane University, the George Mason University Patriots used a hearty 15-point victory at home to vent their frustration at the previous loss to the University of Washington and reaped an expected victory.

面对杜兰大学周林砍下14分7助攻，拉马尔.巴特勒得到21分，杰.刘易斯也有13分9篮板入账。

And Blair was still pressed on the bench.

On November 2005, 11, the George Mason Patriots played against the Demon Deacons of Wake Forest University.

Old teammate Eric Mason also came to Washington with the team.

On the eve of the game, Zhou Lin, as the host, personally entertained Mason in a Chinese restaurant. To Zhou Lin's surprise, Eric Mason actually got playing time in the first two games of the preseason.

Although there were only 3 points, 2 assists and 12 minutes of playing time in the two games, this really envied Blair.

This is also due to the fact that the Demon Deacon team does not have an extremely stable point guard.

Chris Paul's entry into the NBA made this team, which was already very rich in the point guard line, suddenly become stretched.

It is an exaggeration to get four rookie point guards in a year.

And the head coach Prosser also showed a competitive posture, anyone can have a chance to try.

Coming to Washington with a two-game winning streak in the preseason also gave the Wake Forest Demon Deacons an unprecedented momentum.

As for Wake Forest University, which ranks lower this year, George Mason University is also extremely eager to win this game at home.

As Duncan and Paul's alma mater, Wake Forest University, one of the ACC league teams, although it lost Chris Paul this year, Eric Williams, who averaged 16.1 points and 7.7 rebounds in the team last season And the guard Justin Gray, who averaged 16 points per game, is still there. They are the first and second scorers in the team with one inside and one outside.

In this game, Blair also invited his stepfather and mother to watch the game, because before the game, Jim promised that there would be playing time for Blair in this game.

And in this game, three former Flint Hill alumni can even appear on the stage at the same time.

For the Patriots, the starting lineup remains unchanged from before.

Jay Lewis and Will Thomas partnered inside.

Zhou Lin.

Backline with Lamar Butler and Tony Skinner.

And Wake Forest University.

The first position is the first-year Harvey Hale, who is also the opponent's second starting point guard in three games.

The second position is Justin Gray, a strong guard with a height of 20 feet [-] and [-] pounds. He averages [-] points per game and is currently the leading scorer in the team.

The third position is Trent and Strickland, who averaged less than 6 points per game last season, and started to rise this season and averaged 12 points per game.

The four is 6-foot-245, [-]-pound Kyle Weiser.

At the fifth position, the same 6-foot-280 but [-]-pound Eric Williams.

From the point of view of the matchup, except for Zhou Lin's height and weight, the height and weight of the opponent's players are all higher than the Patriots' starting lineup.

Jay Lewis also met Eric Williams, a taller and heavier insider with a similar style to him.

Of course, the Patriots, which are ranked higher and play at home, still have a certain psychological advantage.

Zhou Lin's jump ball ushered in the home team's first possession of the ball.

Jay Lewis and Eric Williams are about the same weight, but Lewis has a lower center of gravity. If he pushes inward, the opponent's heavy insider can only retreat, but Eric Williams' height affects Jay Lewis's shot, the former missed the shot, and the latter directly grabbed the defensive rebound.

Pushing a counter-attack, defender Harvey Hale dribbled across half-time to Justin Gray.

Because the Wake Forest team does not have a good point guard, they have had to weaken the presence of point guards this season.

In fact, Wake Forest's introduction of four first-year point guards this season is not ideal.

In addition to Harvey, the team also has [-]-foot-[-] Shamein Duke, [-]-foot-[-] Matt Smith, and [-]-foot Eric Mason.

And Harvey Hale, who is also 195-foot-[-], has a weight of [-] pounds, which at least allows him not to suffer too much on the defensive end.

He's 20 pounds heavier than Skin, and 25 pounds heavier than Lamar Butler, and there's nothing Skin can do about him when he pushes his ass forward.

Of course, the point guard of this team must be a supporting role, but the head coach wants to add an extra ball-holding point on the field.

When it comes to positional warfare, Harvey is basically a transitional ball and fixed-point shooting role.

Standing in front of Justin Gray is Lamar Butler. The perimeter combination of him and Skinner is basically the type of defensive cash machine when encountering a strong perimeter.

The weight disadvantage of about 25 pounds is basically a natural misalignment. Justin Gray basically killed a Lamar Butler inside.

The former's strong body directly opened up a path and went straight to the basket!
Facing Lewis' supplementary defense, Justin Gray scored two points with a throw.

"Brother, this is too simple, are you defending?"

Justin Gray didn't forget to taunt Lamar Barrett after scoring a goal.

Fortunately, however, Lamar Butler's touch is still there.

A quick three-point shot allowed Lamar Butler to score the Patriots' first three-pointer.

The home basket is friendly to him.

During his four years in college, he made about 60 three-pointers in the arena at home every season.

Of course, things like shooting feel are sometimes unreliable.

Justin Gray obviously found the problem with the Patriots' weak back line. After the pick-and-roll, it became Skin to defend him, and he was already in the low post. Skin not only paid for the foul, but also gave the The other party credits two points.

Add another point for penalty.

To make matters worse, Skin made another mistake on the dribble back to his own half, and was directly flanked by two strong defenders and conceded the ball.

Skin can only use a foul to block the opponent's defensive counterattack.

The stronger Devil Deacon team has been trying to use physical confrontation to disrupt the rhythm of the Patriots.

At the beginning, the Patriots' loopholes were caught by the opponent.
